IPF is a low code framework that enables banks to develop their own payment processing solution by leveraging the IPF software development kit and any desired optional modules or ready-made scheme packs. This can be done by the banks themselves or with help from Icon or an SI.
It’s a fundamentally different approach to traditional vendors with Icon delivering code into the bank’s CI/CD pipeline. This limits vendor technology lock-in but still enables banks to leverage Icon's payments strategy and architecture pedigree.
IPF, the payments framework that puts banks in control
What makes IPF different?
Traditional vendor package
Functionally rich but monolithic, costly, closed, inflexible and complex to configure
In-house development
Puts you in control and maximises flexibility, but at what cost and risk for your organisation?
